Yeah, so sorry for blowing up the forum, but I've been sitting on my Ranchero for soooooo long and things need to break free soon, the weeds are getting too tall !!
I've been stocking up parts for mods/upgrades since last November, and ciritical mass is nearing, and I'm concerned about two inter-related components: Carb and Distributor.
I had already grabbed a duraspark module and coil off an F150 thinking I'd grab a Fairmont dizzy and upgrade.
I've been poring over the threads about Chinese carbs, weber 2v carb conversions, ebay selling shiny YFs out of Mavericks for cheap....
Can I just bypass a lot of the carb issues by doing the ignition first and freeing myself from the vac-0-matic issue? Are there particular years of Fairmont dizzys with the "best" advance curves for something like I'm contemplating? Am I missing ramifications in reverse in selecting a carb if I do the distributor update first?
Sorry but I'm the kind of guy who likes to grok then over-grok things before I jump in but I also realize there are no "best" answers, I'm sure there are fans of the 1100 who disagree with the Weber 2v fans who disagree with the YF fans who disagree with ....
